On the banks of the Paraná River, an indigenous community of Guarani raised their huts to form a settlement. In it lived a community of Guarani very in keeping with the conduct of their cacique, a person, brave and honorable.
The cacique possessed a beautiful daughter of strong and arrogant character, was called Isapí. The members of the village did not appreciate it, the great majority feared it by their arrogant and presumptuous acts, not to the cacique to this loved and they adored a being just and sovereign, a humility and of great heart, carried forward a colony of natives, Loved by his people, respected by his enemies.
His beautiful daughter, Isapí, with a hard and savage heart, unable to blush or shed a tear, nor the day of her mother's death, I justify saying I am the legitimate daughter of a sovereign, the precursors do not cry, it is the meaning of life, Grow and die, cold as none before.
The winter was approaching, the ava page (the sorceress) predicted bad omens for the land without evil of the Guarani, began the mistress (rains) with greater intensity as the days passed.
The river conspired with rainwater, was strengthened, enlarging the flow of water, began to flood everything in its path, its furious waters devastated trees, animals and how many things stood in their way, land won, flooded land .
The ava page sent petitions to their gods, implored protection to its people, the Indian women worried about their children, the children began to mourn for the fury of the river, but it was still insipid, calm, impassive to see their people suffer.
Upon seeing this reaction the elders of the town assembled in the hut of the ava page defined with the sorceress to request an atonement to the God of the Guaraníes Tupã Tenondete for the daughter of the cacique, for his acts of pride.
The Tupã Tenondete wise gave an opinion, of not commuting his acts he would send a punishment to the beautiful Isapí
The days continued as usual, Vivian natives in usual guidelines and so happened another year, the winter came bringing the rains, more intense than before, the river felt powerful, not rough with razing trees, this time took human lives , Razing the villages of the Guarani Indians, the Indians who could flee to higher fields did, the raging river was after that, they had no choice but to climb the bushes, many indigenous people lost their lives, the same Princess Isapí saved His life of miracle, those who remained with lives pleaded pity for the fury of the river, the children cried, Isapí felt his heart despair, but still he continued his position of not crying.
The natives rebuilt their village, the young Isapí, far from changing its character, it hardened even more, being on the banks of the river as usual to contemplate its beauty in the water reflections of the furious Paraná River, there were shouts of an indigenous mother, Begging the Princess to watch her child bitten by a snake, Isapí answered that I can do, it is my fault, that your mischievous child was in the forest, he turned around and continued to contemplate her beauty.
The ava page came to help the child by healing him with his powers, then communicated with the Tupã Tenondete, requested the measures of punishment for the beautiful princess of the wild heart.
Isapí, continued to the side of the river, the afternoon came falling, the beautiful moon began to look at the reflections of the water, seeing this indignant Isapí very old, not wanting to share her water mirror with anyone, try to get up, but He saw that it was impossible, his feet grew roots, his legs joined together making a single trunk, his arm and torso grew up looking at the glittering moon, he became a tree with its branches defeated falling to the ground, being twisted the Immutable princess began to cry.

The Tupã Tenondete wise gave an opinion, punishment to Isapí for his lack of love to the neighbor, condemned to live like a weeping tree, his flowers bloom in winter, not to allow her to enjoy the beautiful spring.
